RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON AND LOWELL.

bOolON AND lOWELL.
Boston and Lowell was firm Saturday at
16S to 1851. If all goes well, the lease to the
Boston and Maine will date from April /. 1t
is memorandum of lease only which has
been signed and meetings are now being
held almost daily to perfect details. The
terms have been correctly stated at per
cent for 10 years and per cent for the bal
ance of the period of SO years. The Maine
pays more than it wanted to, for the neces-
sity that was upon it to reconstruct and en-
large its terminals. The Lowell dividend
will come ahead of the Maine division. max
Lowell stock one of the choicest investment
stocks in the market. Until consolidation
of the Maine with the Eastern occurs and
the lease is abrogoted improvements upon
the Lowell can be charged to Improvement
bonds, the same as they now are in the case
of the Maine and leased lines. Touching
the leases of the Lowell's northern roads,
there are developments limited at which
may place matters in an entirely new light
from that in which they now appear.
EASTERN.
Eastern was off Saturday to 141. While
general plan for the consolidation of the
Boston and Maine and the Eastern roads
has been gossiped about, and parties assert
that the matter is we'll understood, it cannot
be learned positively that agreement has
been reached or that any formal plan will be
discussed until permissive legislation is Sc
cured in Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire. That Eastern will be well cared for,
however, may be assumed as granted. There
is some reason for thinking that the net re-
suit Of the operation of the Maine and East
ern roads this fiscal year may not be as good
as for the previous year. The wage item is
larger and taxes will he heavily Increased
All Of this under the lease is at the cost of
the Eastern road

To the Editor Of the Press:
What will the mothers of our land think
of our legislators who pass laws consigning
our girls, at the tender age Of 10, to life of
infamy? Are our lawmakers SO stupid as
not to know that girl Of 10 (unless she has
been Graded in vice. knows no more Of life
and its perils than girl Of six years? Let
us have the names Of the men who voted for
that law, that every woman in the State may

April 2l, at the age OF "a years. Miss Billings
had been in impaired health tor about two
years, but not sufficiently so to alarm her
friends till within year, when il was appar-
ent that she was struggling with that dreaded
disease, consumption, which was gradually
taking her strength and bringing her to the
end OF life. Miss Billings in all her traits OF
Personally she was attractive and interesting
and though bearing her full share OF the bur
dens of life as they fall to each she possessed
remarkably friendly and affectionate dispo-
stion and carried good deeds wherever She
went. She was naturally refined and to this
gilt of nature she added the charm of study,
conversation and instructive reading. She
was full OF appreciation OF whatever was of
worth I'm others and was "A true and devoted

oughly unselfsh person or one who lived on
a higher plane of moral lite. Pleasure, as the
world understands, she willingly sacrificed to
duty, when duty presented itself to her heart.
Her Christian example is worthy OF all praise
and imitation and would be rich legacy to
any church and community. Her kindness of
heart and willingness to do tor others was as
conspicuous as her refinement and gentleness.
She was good scholar and n most excellent
teacher. She had taught tor the past seven
years, having been employed several terms in
her native town, Ripton, until her family
moved to New Haven, and then several terms
in her own district with marked success. She
was thoroughly a temperance woman in every

duties and responsibilities on Christian prin.
ciple. She was faithful to her family and
many times went beyond her strength minis.
tering to their wants. Six years previous to
her DEATH she buried beloved brother,
younger than herself, and four years after n
sister, of the same disease that proved fatal to
herself. She bore up under the grief of laying
those loved ones in the cold grave most pa.
tiently, ever looking forward to the time when
they should all meet in n better world. She
experienced religion quite young and at the
age of sixteen united with the Congregational
church III Ripton during the pastorate of Rev.
{. ii. Kent and hadnever severed her relation
with that church. In the last hours of her life,
while the dear friends were seated by her
bedside, she exclaimed "What could do if
hadn't learned to love Jesus when was we'll"
We almost feel to wonder, sometimes why
one so useful should be taken. But we must
take the comforting words of one of old, cone
who has lived well has lived long" and re-
member that what is our loss is ner gain. She
leaves Il father, an invalid mother two sis
tiers, three brothers and countless other
friends to mourn her loss The many neigh.
bors and friends who were present at the fun
eral by their fearful eyes and saddened coun-
tenances and their beautiful flowers showed
that they felt the blow deeply and sympa-
thized with the bereaved family. We feel
that none to much can be said in favor OF one
so worthy.
They are looking down from the golden land
Our beloved are looking down.
They have done their work, they have borne
their cross
And received their promised crown.
The Lord OF the harvest will soon appear,
His smile, His voice we shall see and hear.
The Lord of the harvest will soon appear,
And gather the reapers home. +.
